Saw a 66 Fairlane wagon sell on Mecum Auctions yesterday for $66,000...

Anyway, there are three versions of the wagon as far as I can tell. Fairlane, Deluxe and Squire. All are similar but weight and trim might be a bit different. For class racing you need to match that.

The most competitive (on paper) wagon is the one with the 390/265hp engine. It has a factor of 13.52 to 13.59 depending on model and falls into L/S or L/SA. The range for that class is 13.50 to 13.99 so it sits on the top.

Go to the NHRA Stock Car Classification Guide for model weight info and find the Engine Blueprint Sheet on the same site for Ford 1966. Click NHRA Competition at the header of this site for the links.
